Is that your victory speech? Feeling special huh

Great deal for Cowboys but I feel Dalton could of gotten double that money and a shot to complete for the starting job.
I liked your post not because I agree with you on every single thing. I liked your post because you show some restraint and discernment, that things are not obvious...and that we can assess and wait for results.
My compliments in a very rough ocean.
For once, I agree with Dez.
Some fine cherry picking.QBs with 70+ wins and 200+ pass TDs since 2011
Tom Brady
Drew Brees
Aaron Rodgers
Ben Roethlisberger
Matt Ryan
Russell Wilson
And one more guy.
Andy Dalton (Cowboys!)
The Jerry Jones Cowboys have never won a playoff game without Jimmy Johnson or a Ginger QB (or ex-QB) on the payroll.
Unless Jimmy wants to come back, this was a no-brainer signing.
Cooper Rush …
Rush was waived, so down to one.Uh oh. Not sure if that increases the chances of success - or if 2 Gingers cancel each other out.
hmmmm....
he has 2-3 good seasons left.
take the money and backup Dak.
Reminder:
If someone is claiming that Dalton should start they either:
Haven't watched Dalton play
Haven't watched Dak play
Just say stuff to troll
Those are the only options
it is not just ability it is also price and how that impacts the team and its future. tbh i dont see how any one could watch dak last season against the eagles, saints, patriots, packers, bears, etc and say he is orders of magnitude better then dalton...because that is what he is going to cost.
What did I win?
All I have to say is go to You tube and re-watch Dak versus Dalton 2016. Not even close. And that was a rookie Dak at that.Dalton holds Bengal records for touchdowns passes ( 204) and completions ( 2,757) surpassing Ken Anderson . He also holds club marks for career passer rating (87.5) and games with 300 yards passing(28). His 24 game winning drives also are the most by a Bengal QB,
But Dalton is more famous outside the Bengals for losing in the first round in each of his playoff games which BTW was the Bengals best stretch of playoff appearances in franchise history.
Dalton was one of the most proficient passers when given a solid supporting cast. He led the AFC with a 106.3 passer rating in 2015.
He also holds single season records for passing yards(4,293 in 2013) and touchdowns ( 33) in 2013.
I think we could present a pretty good argument Dalton is most experienced and proven backup QB we’ve signed since perhaps Bernie Kosar. A QB who might mean the season isn’t over if Dak goes down or holds out.
I’d argue it’s a great move for the Cowboys.

8. "Wait... Can we get Dak Prescott to back up Burrow now?"Some notable quotes by the fans who know Andy Dalton best. Good to get the opinions outside of this CZ echo-chamber every now and then.
1."I wouldn't pay Dak 35 million or whatever the crazy man wants. I'd be like here ya go Dalton, we got 3 speedy wide receivers, go get em"
2. "They sure don't seem to be busting their butts to get him signed. If he doesn't, the cowboy have a starting QB for 3 mil."
3. "I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starter at week 1. Congratulations to Dalton. I'm glad he's not in the AFC. I wish you luck and I hope to see you lose to us in the Superbowl every year"
4. "A top 5 QB who went 8-8 with a good team?
Top five QB numbers. He didn't exactly slay the big games but he did beat up on the lowly."
5. "He's better than Dak and will be starting before then end of the year."
6. "Andy Dalton + 25-29 in cap space vs. Dak Prescott @ 32 mil is an easy choise to make for me..."
7. "Dak never seemed that special to me. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dalton was the starter. Even if Dak signed too."
8. "Wait... Can we get Dak Prescott to back up Burrow now?"
9. " I'd take a rejuvenated Dalton at 17M (yes 17 million) - over a despondent Dak at 32M any day of the week.
That they got him for what they did is insane. Andy will light it up like it's 2015.
Dallas won off season"
